The future of kitchens is shifting away from high gloss white and breakfast bars. The modern city living and open plan living encourages new designs. Using a mixture of finishes and textures and creating new and innovative storage solutions with clever push open cupboards the kitchen is evolving. The colours are muted, natural and more bespoke in design. Gone are the kitchen stools and the dining table becomes a feature or extension of the overall design. Lots of greenery is featured and using stone, timber and gloss in a variety of texture and shapes makes the future of kitchen design really exciting.

Have you been watching the Block on Channel 9? Are you over the Seagrass Wallpaper saga? We've been watching the new trends from Europe and the Asia Pacific region. It seems Diamonds are making a great deal of fuss both in Interior Styling and Finishes but also in Architectural details and designs. Strong punches of Peacock Blue and Rich Velvet Blues are big in Fabrics and accent elements. Honey comb shaped tiles and blending gloss and matt versions of the same tiles are big. Botanical and Plant inspired wallpapers and Indoor Plants are big too. We will have features on the upcoming Laminex Range and the brand new color and selection from Ceasarstone following our visit to Sydney In Design later this year.

Building in a Bushfire Zone is no easy task. When you prepare to build your dream home you might first check your block of land and its BAL rating. Here is a basic Bushfire Attack Level Calculator . Building in a Flame Zone is a real challenge. But by using compact, accessible and sustainable technology, teamed with determination, amazing results can emerge. The Beachside Bungalow construction is made from concrete filled block work with a concrete slab roof. The roof has been waterproofed and has a garden/green roof supplied and installed by Fytogreen. All the windows and doors have Steel shutters, the rollershutters close at the touch of a button. The opening doors had to have custom made shutters and all openings eg. Fireplace flue, cooking range-top penetrations all had to have steel guards fitted in case of ember attack. It was a challenge to source much of the materials. Thus we custom made many of the solutions. The project designed by Barbara Moje and Simon OBrien of Six Degrees Architects is clever in its compact but practical design.
